I've done a fair amount of research so far and have an extensive list of things to check out, but I'm open to other suggestions as well. Feel free to make recommendations, and even to help me par down the list. Points of interest: dining, drinking, shopping, art, sight seeing (typical tourist attractions), and lodging. I'm budgeting for one really amazing dinner in each city, and also interested in checking out the staples that make each city special. I'll be spending two days in Boston, two in Philly, and one in DC, so help me figure out my schedule and narrow it down to the best of the best. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, etc. Additionally, any advice on public transit and tips on places to park would be great. Boston Day 1 breakfast: Sam Adams brewery tour lunch: Union Oyster House touristy stuff: Gardner Museum, misc. sights dinner: Mistral, Chez Henri, or The Elephant Walk drinks: Cigar Masters, The Oak Room, Bukowski's Tavern, or Anam Cara Day 2 breakfast: lunch: touristy stuff: MFA Boston, check out Cambridge dinner: Cambridge 1 or Mr. Barley's drinks: Cigar Masters, The Oak Room, Bukowski's Tavern, or Anam Cara Also received recommendations for: Grill 23, B&G Oysters, Harvest, Good Life, and The Estate I don't have any bookmarks for shopping or breakfast in Boston, so I could definitely use some recommendations there. Philadelphia Day 1 lunch: Gino's AND Pat's touristy stuff: sights, Mutter Museum dinner: Morimoto drinks: Monk's Cafe, Eulogy, The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co hotel: Rodeway Inn, cheap, and seems within close proximity of everything Day 2 - no idea, completely open to suggestions breakfast: lunch: dinner: drinks: I've heard good things about Tria, Nodding Head Brewery, Bridget Foy's, Tamarind, Pietro's, Bridgid's, Standard Tap, and The Foodery (suggested if going to any BYOB places) Shopping: Rittenhouse Square Washington DC lunch: Ben's touristy stuff: all the obvious sights, Smithsonian, etc dinner: minibar (booked my reservation a month ago
) drinks: hotel: Hilton Washington, or Hotel Helix Need advice on shopping and drinking in DC. I'd like to check out Georgetown, for sure.
